Reason Fitness (CrossFit Reason)

I’ve been a member at Reason Fitness for 7 years and I am so grateful to be a part of this community!

This year particularly has been big for me because I finally found a rhythm for consistency that I have not found for years before. The main avenue that allowed me to find that was that Reason Fitness adapted its services to offer personal training as well!

It may seem like a small thing, but that gave me the flexibility to make it work and set goals to show up in ways that I practically could throughout the week!

I’ve transitioned mostly back into classes and have rediscovered my love for the gym community! Something I appreciate is how diverse both the coaching staff and the community are in drawing people from all walks of life to prioritize health and wellness together!

This gym stood the test of time and survived the pandemic through its resilience and adaptability. But even more than that, the coaches, leadership and community as a whole are all passionate about health and wellness which will continue to drive community wellness forward.

Arcadia is a healthier and stronger city with Reason Fitness here.

I've been a member for about 10 years now and would give 10 stars if I could. The coaches at this gym are absolute gems. They're not just experts in their field, but they're also incredibly supportive and motivating. No matter your fitness level, they're there to guide you, correct your form, and push you to be the best version of yourself. Their passion and their genuine interest in helping you succeed is palpable, making each workout a rewarding experience.

The community at this gym is second to none. You'll find members of all ages and fitness levels, and everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The camaraderie and encouragement in this gym create an atmosphere that's impossible to replicate elsewhere. It's not just a place to work out; it's a place to connect with like-minded individuals who share your goals and aspirations. I've made some of the greatest friendships here.

The facility itself is top-notch. It's clean and well-maintained. Whether you're into weightlifting, gymnastics, or high-intensity cardio, they've got you covered. Highly recommend!

Reason will always be like a second home for me...no matter how long I've been away, it always welcomes me back with open arms. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean and well maintained equipment. Highly recommended to drop in and say hi.

Reason Fitness is an amazing gym with great coaches and a welcoming community. I joined in August 2022 and it has been incredible to see the improvement and growth I have developed in the last 6-7 months.

Every coach there is so welcoming and passionate about helping you reach your personal goals. Whether it's trying Crossfit for the first time, nutrition, learning specific movements, or having someone keep you accountable -- Reason Fitness will tailor themselves to you. I'm currently fitter and stronger than ever before under the guidance of the wonderful coaches here. Definitely give them a try!

These past 3 months have been enjoyable experiences while at REASON! No matter the role from the coaching staff to the owner/founder every single person is helpful, approachable, and just want to bring the best version out of you!! We just LOVE that!!!

We truly look forward towards all the progress that’s to come our way!! Along with the REASON staff being great as can be what separates this gym from others is simply the community in which you’re surrounded by.

Regardless of your physical capabilities I appreciate that REASON will always give the proper suggestions allowing us to exercise safety and effectively!!

Enrolling at REASON was the best decision we have made and we look forward on continuing this journey!!

Reason Fitness is an excellent gym. I joined Reason in August 2022, after leaving my previous CrossFit gym and after a few years of inconsistency due to being in law school and the pandemic.

They have an excellent coaching staff and work with all levels of experience, from first timers to high level athletes.

I’m thankful to have joined Reason. As an attorney, it can be difficult to make time for the gym. However, I’m always excited and do my best to make time to go because the Reason community has quickly become my fitness family.

If you’re at all curious about what it’s like to workout in a group setting, check out Reason. You won’t regret it.

Great coaching staff . Awesome community.
Crossfit Reason is an outstanding fitness center that provides a unique and challenging workout . The staff makes you feel comfortable and welcoming as soon as you walk in .

One of the things that sets CFR apart from other gyms is their commitment to providing personalized attention to every member. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced athlete, the coaches take the time to understand your fitness goals and help you achieve them.

The people at CrossFit Reason are very welcoming. I was hopping around different gyms during the Open and this was by far my favorite environment. The support of the community is strong. Everyone is cheering for you even if they don’t know you, pushing you to do your best. The facility is equipped with all your training needs. Would definitely make the commute from LB to drop in for a class when I can!

I’ve been coming here for about 2 months now. The experience has been great so far. Their exercises are different everyday, so I feel that I am constantly learning new things. Also what makes this gym different is that their coaches put a lot of emphasis on nutrition as much as workouts. They also customize plans for each member. I got a lot of mind-blowing nutrition advice from my coach, which benefits me personally a lot. The coaches are also very responsible. My coach checks in with me every week to ensure both my diet and workout are on the right track. Overall I highly recommend this gym to everyone!

Being a part of reason has been one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. Walking in I was very nervous, but my coach Miguel, being the great person he is and having that great personality and such an inviting smile made me realize I was more then welcome. This decision has definitely been life changing not only physically but mentally and health wise. I would recommend Reason to anyone considering getting back into shape. My confidence is definitely out the roof.

Great gym. Can't wait to rejoin, but difficult now with 3 little kids. Coaches are excellent, facilities are clean, overall well-run gym, and great opportunity to build genuine friendships.

Amazing coaches with amazing programming! Crossfit Reason has all the equipment you’ll ever need at a CF box. The location is big and has ample parking. Everybody there is very welcoming and that makes it even more enjoyable to go! 6:30 class represent!

💯 would recommend Reason!!

I feel very fortunate that this is the closest crossfit to me & the first one I ever went to. I hesitated for a few months on whether I should go — I almost had no idea what crossfit was, had only seen a few pictures of very athletic people, thought I wasn’t in shape enough to go and looked at Reason’s website for a little while before reaching out. The owner/head coach, Eric, responded immediately. Moving past that initial fear was the hardest part and I was totally wrong! The biggest surprise and encouragement to me was that anyone, of any ability, can do crossfit! That’s the amazing part of it! Workouts can be scaled to your ability. The coaches are amazing — attentive, encouraging, personable. Reason does a great job of is warming you up appropriately before a workout. The community here is the best! Everyone is super supportive and there are enough class times to find which fits you!!

Love this gym... being 40+ I appreciate great coaching... coaching that takes into account our strengths and weaknesses, pushes us to do things I never thought I could do... with great people!!!!

Update: now I’m still 40+ and being at CrossFit Reason has been one of the greatest blessings! I love the 8 am and 9 am class! They are encouraging and yet push me to do new things!

Full disclosure: The owner of this gym is someone I know from high school. Although we weren't as close of friends then, I felt that it was still necessary to be transparent.

When it comes to reviewing places of business unrelated to food, reviews can be a bit more definitive because there are standards which aren't as relative (taste, personal preferences). Specifically, when it comes to CrossFit, there are standards in which the coaches must be certified to meet. However, they're not regulated once they get their certification (and there are CrossFit gyms/"boxes" out there that don't really push those standards). Fortunately, the guys here at Reason do.

Eric and Ibby are the two coaches who started this box. Eric's CrossFit experience extends to his time as a personal trainer prior to starting this box and that experience really helps each individual member as Eric is able to spot issues, ask real questions about a person's physical limits, and modify the workouts as necessary without sacrificing the proper form for the exercises. As someone who only recently became involved in cross training physical fitness, this was immensely helpful for me as I was unaware of how immobile my body was when it came to certain movements. Eric spotted it quickly and has worked with me to push my body efficiently and safely. The programming will also challenge you no matter what your strengths and weaknesses are. They are varied to push all aspects of fitness - strength, conditioning, aerobic, and anaerobic functions.

Overall, I've been thoroughly satisfied in what I've learned and the results that I've achieved with Eric and Ibby's help in just the three months I've been training with them. I'm not the only who has noticed as well as friends who I play basketball with have noted that I've become more mobile and better due to increased quickness and strength.

Fitness wise, when it comes down to it, the only person that is capable of making changes to your life is you. If you're looking to make that change, Crossfit Reason will be a great means to help you make that change.

I've been a member of Crossfit Reason for a little more than a year. In that year, I've rehabbed my torn hamstring, gained a lot of strength, especially in the upper body, gained chest to bar pull ups, met some incredibly kind people, and learned what being part of a community is all about. What makes Crossfit Reason most valuable to me, personally, is the owner's tireless effort to cultivate its core values - authenticity, integrity, and excellence. He really tries to embody these qualities in all areas of his life, and it shows in his community.

Eric and his team runs a very professional, yet fun Crossfit gym. Eric is very passionate about bringing out the best out of everyone and I would highly recommend Reason to anyone that is looking for something new to try.

This crossfit training center is the premier gym around the San Gabriel Valley. If you're looking to improve your physical and mental well being then this gym is for you! You will be surrounded by an exceptional staff of coaches and a community of like minded people so don't waste your time and get moving to Crossfit Reason!!!

Member for like 6 years! Why is that ? You may ask ? Because it’s like family here, because the coaches care about everyone, because ... Just because. So, if you want another family outside of your own family, if you want a group of great coaches, a group of people that cheer you on during the workout because you are last to finish... then this is the place !

Couldn’t find a better box to be a member of. Top notch coaches and facilities. Great people who challenge you and help you get more fit. This isn’t just a gym. It’s a community. I’d recommend CF Reason to anyone of all levels of fitness. There’s a place for you here!
